Cole

I pushed open the door to my apartment that afternoon to find Skye sitting on the couch drinking something hot from a mug and dressed in a black hoodie with black shorts, her hair in a loose bun atop her head.

My first thought was that she looked so adorable.

My second thought was...

"Why does this place smell like sex?"

She froze in the middle of drinking and stared at me, stunned. Jasper came out of the shower then and my eyes immediately ran up and down his wet body, zeroing in on the reddish, crescent-shaped marks on his smooth biceps. My stomach dropped, my heart almost stopped beating and I let my briefcase and jacket fall to the floor carelessly.

"Wow," I said because it was all I could manage through the shock of discovering that they had slept together. Without even talking to me about it or waiting for me. "Wow."

Skye unfolded herself from the couch and started to approach me with a concerned look. "Cole. Baby-"

"I need a minute," I stated, unable to look at either of them before I made myself move. I couldn't go in the bedrooms because they would follow me there soon so I went in the office, shut and locked the door before slumping down against the wall.

Skye

"It's been one hour," I said to Jasper exasperatedly from where I stood behind the couch and watched the office door. "I'm worried."

Jasper scoffed, the asshole. "What's new?"

I glared at him. "Can't you do something?"

He gulped down the remaining scotch in his glass and walked over to me, pressing his body to mine. "You mean like right now?" he teased.

I whacked him on the shoulder. "Please. Please be serious. Jasper-"

He shut me up by kissing me and I gasped into his mouth. Upon arriving home a couple of hours ago, he had taken me on the couch, against the kitchen counter, in my bed and paid tribute to my pussy in the shower with his mouth. He was insatiable. And I was no better.

Tears filled my eyes and he backed up and gave me a warning look.

"No. No. Please don't cry," he said in a wary tone. "Skye. I've known him for years. He goes quiet when he's upset and he needs time to snap out of it. He won't open that fucking door before he wants to unless one of us is dying out here."

I blinked at him, looked at the closed door, took a deep breath and let out a shriek.

It sounded as though somebody was seriously hurting me and Jasper's expression was comical as he gaped at me. The office door burst open and within seconds, Cole was there. My sweetheart.

"Skye! What's the matter? What happened?" he asked me frantically, searching my face and holding my shoulders firmly.

When I didn't answer, he shot a menacing look at Jasper, one I had never imagined he was capable of.

"What the fuck did you do to her?" he bit out. I slipped my hand over his tight jaw and made him look back at me.

"Nothing. He didn't do anything. It's Jasper, Cole," I soothed and managed a smile. "He wouldn't hurt me." I removed his glasses as he visibly calmed down and presented me with an inscrutable expression. "Please. Please don't shut me out. I love you. Come sit with us. I need you here."
